Condition

Overall in very good condition. With a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making, only visible when examining the vase with a strong light from the interior. The exterior of the vase with a few very light and fine surface scratches at the outermost contours of the shoulder. The vase interior is cased in white. The top decorated collar is beautifully iridized, imparting the collar with strong luminosity and a range of brilliant hues. A superb example displaying a particularly elegant form, intensely saturated color and finely articulated decoration on the top collar. When seen in person, the “Mazarine” blue hue is even deeper and more vibrant than seen in the catalogue illustration.
